    It's all gone a bit quiet. Hearn said it was pretty much done. It will be disappointing if this fight doesn't materialise and he ends up fighting another mando.

    It should do. Vargas seems willing and winning another belt could be quite important in getting big fights in the future. I'd be a little bit surprised if it didn't happen.

    If Spence is the mando it might not be too disappointing.

    I think it will happen, just not as originally planned if the GGG v Eubank fight takes place.

    The Sheffield Star reported that the Sheffield Steelers (ice hockey team) have been told they can't have the arena on October 8th due to a Sky Sports boxing show. I'm not sure if the report is 100% accurate but I can see this happening.

    Contracts have been signed but yeah it seems the GGG vs eubank fight is holding things up.

    Looks like Eddie is gonna move the fight to that card.

    Hearn cannot let Brook down now.

    Someone mentioned to me that it wont be happening hed heard it from sources close to brook i took it with a pinch of salt because people intentionaly or not put a spin on it. Also people change there minds.
    Brook prob peeved that vargas is getting more cash.

    I'm getting to the point were brook I'd be coming irrelevant
    I mean with mayweathergym gone be should be making a real push to prove he is number one in the division
    He needs to go to America for the next few years at least I mean that theophane is probably more recognised over there just being part of the
    Does not seem like brook wants it had enough which is a massive shame as he as the tools to have dominate and make a legacy

    Hearn is letting him down massively but in the same breath doing a better job with him than w h a nk ever did for him

    Brook seems to be disillusioned with Matchroom

    Not true at all.

    Vargas and brook both signed fight contracts. Vargas has not signed his agreement with top rank yet.

    Vargas is getting 3x his biggest purse

    Brook's whole career has been a slow burner. Moved along very slowly with FW for 7 years. Moved to Hearn became Mandatory in Oct. 2012 but finally had a world title fight nearly 2 years later. Now 2 years after winning the world title he is still waiting for a good fight.

    Not sure whether Brook is unlucky or there is something more too it.

    Everything always seems to drag on with Kell. It can't be everyone else can it?

    Spot on.

    Granted Hearns got him a title but he seems to be working Kells career around everyone else.
